Which is why a lot of people are advocating F-35s for the ROCAF, particularly the Bs.

But if every F-22 can take 5-6, why would the USAF need the F-35 then? In reality the equation is not so binary.

In reality, the F-35 is much better suited to destroying large numbers of aircraft than the F-22 is, because the best way to destroy opposing aircraft is to hit them when they're on the ground, parked close together, and can't shoot back.

Each AMRAAM carried kills one fighter each on a good day. Each 2000 lb JDAM carried internally on an F-35 has a blast radius of 400 yards...
